Patient's question:
Boys, who are already 7 years old, this week, the child told me that his ears are a bit painful. Additionally, there is a lot of yellow earwax. Also, his appetite is not good, and his throat is also uncomfortable. Please ask: How should otitis media with purulent earwax be diagnosed and treated in children.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the methods and medications used for the clinical treatment of pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as anti-inflammatory ear drops can also be used. When the child's ear pain is severe, appropriate doses of pain-relieving medication can be given. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be administered, or the child should be taken to the hospital immediately. If the patient exhibits severe symptoms, such as a perforated eardrum, it is necessary to seek medical treatment promptly, including surgical intervention. During treatment, it is also important to ensure the child follows a light diet, strengthens nutrient intake, and promotes early recovery.
